Recovery Time

Recovery after tonsillitis treatment depends on the method used. With medications, patients usually recover within 7 to 10 days. After surgical tonsillectomy, most patients resume routine activities within 10 to 14 days. With laser-assisted procedures, recovery is much faster, and patients often feel better within a week.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

Before surgery: Patients undergo throat examination, diagnostic tests, and pre-surgical evaluations. Doctors provide dietary and medication guidelines to prepare for surgery.

During surgery: The procedure is performed under anesthesia. The ENT surgeon carefully removes the tonsils using laser or another surgical technique. The surgery typically takes 30 to 45 minutes.

After surgery: Patients may experience mild throat pain and difficulty swallowing for a few days. Painkillers and soft diets are recommended. Recovery is faster with proper hydration and rest.

First week: Mild pain and swelling, managed with medicines and hydration.
7 to 10 days: Significant healing, patients can eat semi-solid foods comfortably.
2 weeks: Most patients recover completely and resume normal routines.
